So I sort of kept my promisse.
I stated that there would be no party. I refused requests for suprise parties. I’ve kept my end of the bargain and no posts on your rez day…
BUT…
That was yesterday already on my watch… so…
HAPPY (belated) REZ DAY SUMMER SWEETY 
Summer, my tender sweet love
Its been a week already since my SL sis first rez day party, but it’s still a memorable event to write about, especially taking in to account the great gal she is.
Katerina Manamiko, my SL sis, my great dear friend, also known as Kat, or the General Manager of the club we work at, Sweethearts, first rezzed on the 11th of November of 2007.
Through countless perils we come to meet each other at Sweethearts where we both started working around the same time there, when Sweethearts was just a brewing idea on the minds of Charity & Dilbert. We’ve been there from the early beginning, and despite not talking every day with each other, when we do talk, we tend to share deep emotions between each other.
Moments have come, hard to undertake all on your own, where we have counted on each other to wind out and spill out what was trapped inside us. I thank her for that, for being there when I needed her shoulder… I only try to be there for her as well when she needs it too…
Hmmm… well, what I mean to say is that I’m really happy to have met you Kat. Getting to know you has a person as been a amazing experiment and I hope you can keep shining your light with all of us for many many more years to come. You’re a kind, giving, selfless person, always putting other before your own interests. Sometimes people don’t understand you (way to many more then I wished for you) and fail to see what a shining star you are. My only wish is that you may find you path to happiness soon and that life will ease up the burden you often carry all by yourself…
Love ya sis
On the meanwhile, here’s some pics of the party Sweethearts setup for our beloved Katerina on her Rez Day. Me and Summer were there and hope we spiced up the party a little bit, making it a memorable day for you Kat.
*big hugs*

View of the party
One year of my second life … And roughly the 27th of my first one.
Eh, go figure. One year ago Petros was rezzed (born) in Second Life. The fact that it was actually my already 3rd avatar doesn’t change one very crucial factor: it was with Petros that I discovered what Second Life is.
It didn’t happen immediately, though I created him to, in a way, be a extension of my real self, and thus I started to do some un-newbie things with him… But it didn’t last long and RL contingencies made him fade in to what looked like an eternum oblivion…
Then 2008 come and with it my official unemployment and hordes of free time… Being the geek and reclusive person I tend do be, computer games sounded good enough to entertain me while I was not looking for a job. Eh, soon enough, Second Life caught my attention again… It could have been a short lived return, but on the very first day of my (re)return I incidently met my first lover in SL and my first SL job.
I got hooked before I knew.
I started making friends (not just contacts), I started woring and getting linden bucks without camping, I started to love through my avatar and I rent my very first (virtual) property. I was on a high. For a few weeks my first life become my second one…
Eh… Maybe it was too much, but it was probably important to experience that in that stage of my life as well… Just like any another piece of my life coming in to place in the big puzzle of it.
Eventually things changed.
Old friends vanished, new ones were made. My inventory grew, my house got furnished, memories made, dreams shared…
I found a new job along the way. One in SL, and then quickly one in RL.
My romance ended… But Petros endured. Maybe wiser, maybe more conscious, maybe…
Then RL started to take its toll on SL. “first life comes first” we always say… Eh, yeah right… Then why do we want so eagerly to return home? I’m side-tracking now…
Anyway… Life, the second one, moved on (as well as the first one). Two jobs, a place to call home, friends and confidants, some drama, cool clothes, an identity and lindens to spare… And before I could properly rez what was coming my way, Summer arrived and a new and unexpected relationship was born out of all the wondrous coincidences that make life such a funny play to read. And here I am now. Happy, tired, richer, smiling. I have no idea what another year will bring me but… It will be unexpected for sure.
In our island now we stand together and I feel wiser with all that SL as teach me as a person, as a lover, as a friend, as a intimate confident, as an explorer, as a community member… I have seen what Second Life can be… The good and the bad… Just like first life… Only maybe at a fasten pace.
In the process of learning more about others, I got to know myself from the eyes of others… And that was truly amazing.
Thank you, to all whom have contributed to me growing up a little more in this year that went by.
See ya all next year 
So yesterday was my birthday. It ended up being quite a pleasant one, with little surprises here and there. All in all a quiet and nice day. The usual suspects send their regards, the usuals ones didn’t… and I got a few nice surprises on the way from people I didn’t expected anything and even from one or two I haven’t heard off in ages.
All is good.
Day started with fireworks, so I can’t complain. The town festivities coincided with my bday so.. eh, let’s pretend the fireworks were for me
Had lots of new friends greeting me and wishing me well, that was nice, old friends as well, along with family. Got some presents, plenty of new clothes, two fun books and some money.
Eh… It was nice. And I’m now 28… don’t know if I feel that age. I guess not… I was enjoying being 27 despite it all, but I guess there’s no point in complaining.
But b-days are always so… peculiar. One strives to make them unique and memorable but they so easily can be a source of frustrations and bad memories. I’ve stopped worrying and feeling bad for those apples that no longer care … that’s refreshing, and I now take it with strife when they do pretend to remember. But who cares for those anyway? What does matter are those that really care about you and show it in the most unexpected ways. THOSE are the ones worthy to invest time with, worthy to think about, worthy to be with.
And it seems I’m blessed with quite a few more then I expected.
So… yay for me!
Now… to find chapter #28 of the Life Manual…. (I sure hope there are some neat tricks to be learn at this level)
